Grahame, I added the weekly theme prefix to your title as this qualifies for our theme. Nice bright colors and the composition is lovely. I might touch up the BG a tiny bit more near the far wing. It does look like a painting.:)
Nice job Grahame, I like the colorful treatment and painterly look. The left portion of the near wing seems a little dark, but I like the pool of light on the head and legs!

Grahame, Very interesting looking critter and nicely composed shot! I love how you were able to retain all the detail you have in the wings but still have a very painterly look. Agree about the orangish color in the background by the far wing.

Grahame, I really like the colors and the effect Topaz gave the wing patterns. Well done:)

Like the treatment and colours. If it were mine (which it isn't:)) I might lighten the brown on the LLC. Is this a really tiny creature like all aphids?
Beautiful painted look. Nice Composition.
This was the original about 5mm on length
Thanks for posting the original. It is amazing how much life you were able to pull into the image w/ the effect.:)
Nice image and application, Grahame.
Looks a lot better with the effects. Nice job.
